Food Truck Owners Expo (FTO) is a two-day event for mobile food vendors to come meet with new and existing manufacturers/suppliers/food purveyors and service providers. Learn from experts in the industry and network with other owners.  

This event is for the owners and operators of food trucks, mobile carts, pop-up restaurants, and anyone thinking of entering this expanding marketplace.
We want you to leave your food at home and come learn, network, increase profits and help grow your business through education, new vendor resources and community building

The inaugural FTO event will be held at Humble Civic Center, in Houston, TX July 29-30, 2024. 

We’re searching for other locations across the country right now. Please sign in to receive more information as we produce an FTO Expo near you.
PS - Southern California is next! And everyone can access our online education sessions, so be sure to add your name to the list, so we can contact you with information.

You have three parts of your Food Truck Business: the Truck, the Business, the Food Service. 

Right now, you are finding suppliers for all your needs through various sources – the internet, word of mouth, your friends. FTO Expo has all these sources – sources you know and sources you don’t – in one location : Food Services (Commissaries to food providers), Truck Services (truck manufacturers to wraps), and Business Services (POS Systems to Websites).

Our goal is to make sure all your questions are answered, regardless of where you are on your business journey. While we are currently building our final education courses, the breakout sessions include those listed below. If you have a topic you would like to see, please let us know!

· Regulations & Laws

· Food & Trucks

· Business & Marketing

· Mobile Vendor 101
